This species is characterized by the long narrow lobes of its palmately-divided leaves, 
by the spurs of the petals equalling the calyx-spur and tubular from the base to above 
the middle, and by the lateral petals being deeply bifid, not furnished with an appendage 
at the base, and only slightly bearded.

Distinguished by the pedatisect leaves, by the spurs of the deeply bifid upper petals 
being shorter than the calyx-spur, and by the bipartite lateral petals having a scale- 
like appendage at the base.
